Thanabhumi was a great base for our Bangkok trip. It's just a short walk to Khaosan Road, the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, but out of the way enough to provide some respite from the crowds. The hotel itself is located down a alley off the main road, and so, feels a bit quieter and safer than staying right in the middle of it all. The place is very new and clean. The bedrooms are basic, but nice ensuites with modern, removable showerheads. The staff were friendly and helpful, assisting us with directions, recommending things for us to do and calling us a cab at the end of the stay. Pretty much great all around.
